INTRODUCTION
두텁고 풍부한 사운드를 보여주는 감성적인 새 앨범 프론트맨인 브래드는 발매 전부터 전혀 다른 차원의 사운드를 들려줄 것이라고 말했다. 가장 우선적인 방법은 사용악기에 변화를 주는 것이었다. “멤버 모두들 오래된 빈티지 기타를 사러 나갔죠. 1970년산 베이스에 매트는 1956년산 레스 폴을 구입했고 크리스는 1958년 산인지, 여튼 그 정도 오래된 모델을 샀습니다. 이번 앨범의 사운드는 정말 훌륭합니다. 보컬을 위해 스튜디오에 들어갔을 때 녹음된 사운드를 들었을 때, ‘이런, 정말 훌륭한데.’라고 나도 모르게 감탄했었죠. 정말 위협적이었습니다.”
자니 K"JOHNNY K"가 프로듀싱한 이번 앨범은 분명 이전과는 다른 차원의 소리를 들려준다. 건조함과 풋풋함은 사라지고, 선이 굵은 연주에 현악과 어쿠스틱 기타를 충분히 활용한 공감각적인 사운드는 인생의 다음 단계에 들어선 청년의 성장처럼 전작들과 차이를 보인다. 대선배인 밥 시거"BOB SEGER"의 참여 역시 앨범에 무게를 실어준다. 신작인 [SEVENTEEN DAYS]는 그간 찾아 볼 수 없었던 몇 단계의 성장을 한꺼번에 보여주고 있는 셈이다.
전작이 멜로디에 치중한 담백함을 지닌 데 반해 신작은 훨씬 두텁고 풍부한 사운드라는 점이 우선 눈에 띠는 부분이다. 지난 앨범에서 시도했던 현악의 도입은 이번 앨범에서 훨씬 활용도가 높아졌다. 자주 등장하는 어쿠스틱 기타와 함께 앨범의 감성지수를 올리는 핵심적인 요소로 작용하고 있다. 첫 트랙 ‘RIGHT WHERE I BELONG’은 강렬한 리프와 폭발적인 에너지를 쏟아내며 터져 나온다. 순간 신작에 대한 기대감이 상승한다. 둘째 트랙인 ‘IT"S NOT ME’까지 그 기대는 꺾이지 않으나 출발점으로 되돌아간 듯 보였던 사운드는 트랙이 지날수록 성숙한 분위기로 변해간다. 특히, 밥 시거과의 듀엣 곡 ‘LANDING IN LONDON’은 어쿠스틱 기타와 풍부한 현악 사운드를 십분 도입해 사색, 성찰, 회한의 분위기를 충분히 전달하고 있다. 밥 시거의 텁텁하고 원숙한 보컬은 인생의 선배로서 조언을 하듯 브래드의 보컬과 조화를 이룬다. 앨범에서 가장 빛나는 호소력을 발휘하는 곡으로 꼽을 수 있다. 간혹 강렬한 곡들이 등장하긴 하지만, 앨범의 수록곡들은 대체적으로 고전적인 방식으로 전개된다. 귓가에 맴도는 멜로디가 무기인 ‘BEHIND THOSE EYES’나 첼로, 벤조, 가스펠 합창이 동원돼 힘있는 전개를 보이는 ‘FATHER"S SON’이 앨범에 무게를 실어주며, 분노를 토해내듯 강력한 에너지를 발산하는 ‘MY WORLD’는 오히려 처절하게 다가온다. 마무리는 깔끔한 멜로디와 사운드가 매력적인 ‘HERE BY ME’로. 모든 곡들은 지나친 기교를 부리지 않은 편곡으로 성숙하고 서사적인 사운드를 강조하고 있다. 그러나, 적재적소에 강렬한 리프를 등장시켜 곡의 긴장감을 유지하는 등 튀지 않는 곡들을 현명하게 조율했다. 세심하게 도입한 여러 사운드로 풍부한 질감을 완성한 점도 빼놓을 수 없다. 첫 싱글인 ‘LET ME GO’는 앨범의 특성을 요약한 곡이라고 할까. 이외에 보너스 트랙으로 전작의 빅 히트곡인 ‘HERE WITHOUT YOU’와 ‘AWAY FROM THE SUN’이 어쿠스틱 버전으로 수록됐다.

And theres a difference than spending time with me And killing time while I'm there Too many people and too many things And it makes me feel like hell You have gone as I can see And all of this she says to me Theres too many questions And too many strings And they won't keep this thing tied On a roller coaster ride It Feels like im lying next to a ghost at night I dont know why I gave you my heart Cause sometimes it feels so wrong But despite of all this weather I know why we are together And I swear right now I'm right where I belong I know I get a little bit crazy But I never done you no wrong Well I get distracted and carried away And it's been this way too long But I dont know what you need from me Cause all I know is what I can see Theres too many questions And too many strings And they won't keep this thing tied On a roller coaster ride It Feels like im lying next to a ghost at night I dont know why I gave you my heart Cause sometimes it feels so wrong But despite of all this weather I know why we are together And I swear right now I'm right where I belong I'm right where I belong Go on, Play it for me son Theres too many questions And too many strings And they won't keep this thing tied On a roller coaster ride It Feels like im lying next to a ghost at night I dont know why I gave you my heart Cause sometimes it feels so wrong But despite of all this weather I know why we are together And I swear right now I'm right where I belong

Nevermind the face you put on
In front of me
Nevermind the pain
That you've put me ..through
And every little thing you say
And every little thing you do
Makes me doubt all of this
Chorus:
Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well it's not me
Look what you did
Is this how you wanted this to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me
Nevermind the trip that you've been on
Or so it seems
Nevermind the lies you told, not truths
And every little thing you said
And every little thing you did
Made me doubt all of this
Chorus:
Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well it's not me
Look what you did
Is this how you wanted this to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me
Look what you did
Is this who you wanted me to be?
Well it's not me
Look what you did
Is this how you wanted this to be?
This life you gave away
Was meant for me
Yeahhhhhh
Oh was meant for me, yeah hey yeah hey
Oh No Oh

One more kiss could be the best thing
But one more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are
never resting
And you're not something I deserve
In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's
real and make believe
AND this seems real to me
You love me but you don't know
who I am
I'm torn between this life I
lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know
who I am
So let me go
Let me go
I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing
When I know what I'm goin through
In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's
real and make believe
And this seems real to me
You love me but you don't know
who I am
I'm torn between this life I
lead and where I stand
You love me but you don't know
who I am
So let me go
Just Let me go
And no matter how hard I try
I can't escape these
things inside I know
I know
When all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows
Who knows
You love me but you don't know
who I am
I'm torn between this life I
lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know
Who I am
So let me go
Just let me go
And you love me but you don't
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't know
who I am
And you love me but you don't
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't know me

The shades gone up Mothers staring down She don't know where he's been Or how long he's been out She said "Boy I'm tired of waiting up while your out with your friends" He said "Mom I'm tired and I'm living my life the best way that I can" Cause I'm trying to be somebody I'm not trying to be somebody else This life is mine I'm living Don't you know me?

I wont ever let you down No I'm not trying to be somebody else Don't you know me?

I woke up today in London
As the plane wastouching down
And all I could think about
was Monday
Maybe I'd be back around
If this keeps me way much longer
I don't know what I would do
You got to understand
it's a hard life,
that I'm going through
And when the night
falls around me
I don't think
I'll make it through
I'll use your light
to guide the way
All I think about is you
LA is getting kind of crazy
And New York is getting
kind of cold
I keep my head from getting lazy
I just can't wait to
get back home
And all these days I spend away
I'll make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all to much to bear
And when the night
falls around me
And I don't think
I'll make it through
I'll use your light
to guide the way
All I think about is you
And all these days I spend away
I'll make up for this I swear
I need your love to hold me up
When it's all to much to bear
And when the night
falls around me
And I don't think
I'll make it through
I'll use your light
to guide the way
All I think about is you

I wanted to find somewhere to hide
and I opened up and let those fears inside
and I wanted to be anyone else
only to find that there was no one there but me
but I woke up to the real life
and I realized It's not worth running from anymore
when there was nowhere left to hide I found out
that nothings real here but I won't stop now until I find a better part of me
I let those hard days get me down
and all the things I hate got in my way
I could've screamed without a sound
I found myself silenced by those things they say
but I woke up to the real life
and I realized It's not worth running from anymore
when there was nowhere left to hide I found out
that nothings real here but I won't stop now until I find a better part of me thats out there somewhere
and It cant be that far away
thats where I'll find myself
and I'll find my way out
that's where I'll find out
but I woke up to the real life
and I realized It's not worth running from anymore
when there was nowhere left to hide I found out
that nothings real here but I won't stop now until I find a better part of me

Lay me down
Wash this blood off of
my hands for me
while I cry out
Don't let me diebefore
I go to sleep
I can't keep going but I
cannot start again
This road I walkis
paved with the broken
promises I made
At least a million times I've fallen
but never will Ibreak
These walls I make
they hold me in and hold me back today
but tomorrow's new
Then I walk right out and walk
right over you
If you hear me screaming
please don't let me fall again
This road I walkis paved
with the broken
promises I made
At least a million times I've fallen
but never will Ibreak
My time is on its way
I'll fall but I won't break
This road I walkis paved with
the broken
promises I made
at least a million times
I've fallen
but never will Ibreak
This road I walkis paved
with the broken
promises I made
At least a million times
I've fallen
but never will Ibreak

In the glare of a neon sign She laid her body down The damned walked in beside her And laid his money down He said don't try to scream now But I want this one to hurt And tonight my pretty one I'm gonna get my money's worth He said they never listened She said they'd never understand That I don't this for pleasure I just do it cause I can I swear I didn't want to And I swear I didn't know That things like this could happen To a 17-year old And I've bundled up all of these fears inside And I've bottled up all of this pain And no one or nothing can take this away But I won't let it happen again Never again In the haze of a smoky room He chokes that bottle down It's been a month since her saw her face Underneath the blood stained gown He thinks about that little girl And the one he has at home And wonders what if that was my little girl Walkin down that road alone And I've bundled up all of these fears inside And I've bottled up all of this pain And no one or nothing can take this away But I won't let it happen again Never again Never again No Maybe I'm just crazy or the devil got inside But either way my soul is gone, And I'll end this all night The one hand throws the whiskey, and the other throws the gun As he cries out to the heavens I am not my father's son

Your stuck on a chain
And your toeing a lie
Seems like everytime
that you catch up
You only fall behind
And your trappedinside
this world you made yourself
but that's not the world
I live in this is not the
life for me
cause my world is
bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
that's not the world
I live in this is not the
life for me
cause my world is
bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
There is always someone to blame
for the things you do yourself
you think that everything
that's going wrong
is because of someone else
And your trappedinside
this world you made yourself
that's not the world
I live in this is not the
life for me
cause my world is
bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
it's not the world
I live in this is not the
life for me
cause my world is
bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
and it's bigger than me
cause i'm lonely outside
and i'll look in
And that's not the world
I live in this is not the
life for me
cause my world is
bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
it's not the world
I live in this is not the
life for me
cause my world is
bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me
cause my world is
bigger than your problems
and it's bigger than me

I hope you're doing
fine out there without me
'Cause I'm not doing
so good without you
The things I thought
you'd never know about me
Were the things I guess
you always understood
So how could I have been
so blind for all these years
I guess I only see
the truth through all this fear
of living without you And
everything I have in this world
And all that I'll ever be
It could all fall down around me
Just as long as I have you
right here by me
I can't take another day
without you 'Cause baby
I could never make it on my own
I've been waiting so long
just to hold you
And to be back in your arms
where I belong I'm sorry I can't
always find the words to say
But everything I've ever
known gets swept away
Inside of your love And
everything I have in this world
All that I'll ever be
It could all fall down around me
Just as long as I have you
right here by me
As the days roll on I see
Time is standing still for me
When you're not here
I'm sorry I can't always
find the words to say
Everything I've ever known
gets swept away
Inside of your love
And everything I have in this world
And all that i'll ever be
It could all fall down around me
Just as long as I
have you right here by me
And everything I have in this world
And all that i'll ever be
It could all fall down around me
Just as long as I
have you right here by me

a hundred days have made me older
since the last time that
I saw your pretty face
a thousand lies have made me
colder and I don't think I can
look at this the same
but all the miles that separate
they disappeared now when
I'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby
but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but you're still with me in
my dreams and tonight
it's only you and me yeah
the miles just keep rolling
as the people leave their
way to say hello I've heard
this life is overrated but I
hope that it gets better as
we go oh yeah
I'm here without you baby
but you're still on my lonely
mind I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but you're still with me in my
dreams and tonight girl
it's only you and me everything
I know and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it
won't take away my love
and when the last one falls
when it's all said and done
it gets hard but it won't
take away my love
I'm here without you baby
but you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
but you're still with me in my
dreams and tonight girl
it's only you and me yeah

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone do what I've done
I missed life
I missed the colours of the world
Can anyone go where I am
'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
Away from the sun again
I'm over this
I'm tired of living in the dark
Can anyone see me down here
The feeling's gone
There's nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world I've known
'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
And now I can't do what I've done
And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me
'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
